Hi, perhaps the only way (although untested) may be to "ip link set <interface> down" and to "rmmod <according-kernel-module>" which is in my opinion impractible :) much nicer and easier: create a simple rule matching everything incoming/outgoing your desired device and insert it in the PREROUTING/POSTROUTING chain. (or a custom rule to which is jumped in INPUT and FORWARD / OUTPUT and FORWARD) e.g. iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 # for incoming iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o eth0 # for outgoing or if u prefer not to use the nat table e.g. iptables -N eth0_out iptables -N eth0_in iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -j eth0_in iptables -I FORWARD -i eth0 -j eth0_in iptables -I FORWARD -o eth0 -j eth0_out iptables -I INPUT -o eth0 -j eth0_out with "iptables -t nat -L -vx" / "iptables -L -vx" u can read bytes/packets and process this output in your script hope that helps.... tobias > > HI List, > How do i reset the values in /proc/net/dev ? > This file holds values for count of each (packet && byte), > (sent && received) through all interfaces. > > I'm using a monitor which reads values from this > file and prints out some nicely formatted output. > > But i need to reset the values. ie. set then to zero. > Restarting the network does not do what i want. > I guess a reboot should do it. > > Any other way? > > -- > arc_of_descent > _______________________________________________ > LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl > http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/ _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
